Affinity app โ free, no subscription

Canva bought Affinity in 2024, took the product offline for a reset, and today launched a totally redesigned, all-in-one Affinity app โ free, no subscription, and aimed squarely at professionals. Photographers, designers, illustrators: one nondestructive file format, full layer and editing support, and compatibility with PSD, AI, PDF, SVG, TIFF, IDML, and more.
